How We Measure Student Success

We will evaluate students’ financial beliefs, knowledge, goals, and habits within each session. They’ll take pre and post-tests, and we’ll capture their short and long-term financial behaviors.

Parents/Caregivers

Students benefit from educators who feel more secure in their financial beliefs. We provide various educational and financial resource opportunities for the faculty and staff at our six pilot schools.

Faculty/Staff

We amplify the impact of the financial education we provide students when we also equip their parents and caregivers with the same education and access to resources and connections to improve their financial situation.

Financial Empowerment Fair

The financial empowerment fair is a one-day event that will educate participants on financial wellness basics and provide direct access to organizations and programs that could provide immediate financial relief, stability, and guidance.

Financial Workshops feat. (Anthony Anderson) & Financial Experts

Each monthly workshop will begin with Black-Ish star and actor Anthony Anderson explaining the foundational components of the 12 fundamental wealth-building principles. These workshops will also include a guided 60-minute presentation with a Q&A.

One-on-One Financial Consulting

We will provide professional guidance to help faculty and staff manage financial issues, identify immediate action steps, and make referrals to other services at no cost. The IMC staff will facilitate this service with local financial experts.
